semi trends, semiconductor news aggregation

It is hard to stay on top of news in most industries. Thus it is nice when one comes across a site that pulls a lot of information from different sources and presents them in a nice and readable format. Case in point is SemiTrends.com, a nicely laid out news aggregator of semiconductor related news. It does look like the news is posted manually, but don’t worry, the site is updated several times a day and always contains plenty of reading material. Actually, some of the manual filtering might be of value, eliminating articles that have marginal content. All posts are tagged, allowing you to click on a tag and read posts that have been tagged similarly. One can also browse the posts by categories; however, the number of categories is simply staggering, and thus hard to navigate. The authors of the site might want to consider some alphabetical binning, especially when it comes to company names. The search functionality is located below all the categories – just in case you had a hard time finding it. Overall though, it is a great site, and definitely beats surfing from one site to another to get your daily fill of semiconductor news.
